She also starred in "The Forbidden Kingdom" with Jackie Chan and Jet Li, and has been on the list of the world's most beautiful faces many times. She is a well-known Chinese actress abroad. Netizens are very satisfied with her performance in "Hua Mulan", and they are looking forward to Liu Yifei's performance.

The live-action film "Mulan" tells the story of Hua Mulan disguising herself as a man to join the army in place of her father. Disney has previously produced an animated version, which had very good box office and word of mouth, with a global box office of $304 million and an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Film.
